I recently bought a '79 Regal that was drug out of a field a few years ago. It has a Chevy 305 with a Holley 600 4 barrel, Edelbrock Victor Jr intake, headers and dual exhaust. The transmission is a turbo 350 with a shift kit. Looks like I have a bit of sanding ahead of me!

From here the chrome actually looks halfway decent. Cool to see another old regal on here, we're definitely a minority. Hows the frame look?

Don't know where you two are located, but, I got a turbo hood for one of those cars....

I did the black out treatment!

Those Buick Rally wheels look good, I'd like to find some for my Regal project.

No doubt, they are either a love it or hate it style. I'm a fan of the that body style with the single headlights (78,79).

The Field Car!
With all the nitrous that got sprayed thru that thing I can't believe it still runs!

That car has been in Car Craft like half a dozen times... :lol:

Yeah I've heard stories and seen pictures and videos... Still runs great! (Crossing fingers)
I plan on putting a cam and intake and heads on it... eventually.

The chrome is pretty good. Not show quality, but pretty dang good. The frame is great and the car runs and drives GREAT!
